It’s really that simple.” “Thirteen-hundred people, from what I’ve read, have settled with the Murdoch folks. And of the 40 claims that originally joined with you in this action, it’s down to now two. And so you think that everybody has just settled because it just doesn’t make any economic sense to continue?” “No, I know why people have settled. They’ve settled because they’ve had to settle.

Since the invention of the internet in 1983, traditional domain names have been used across many websites. AccessibilityToday, there are millions of traditional domain names registered on the internet. Ultimately, as the accessibility of traditional domain names declines, personalized web addresses like .pro become a necessity. A .pro domain can set a business apart because it's personalized and more descriptive than a traditional domain. The .pro domain shows a degree of proficiency and seriousness of a company that a legacy domain would struggle to achieve.

It has offered adherents myriad “exclusive” opportunities to join clubs to give counsel to Mr. Trump, and it has repeatedly claimed that Mr. Trump is personally reviewing lists of small donors. The New York Times looked at some 7,400 emails sent by the Trump campaign since Mr. Trump entered the presidential race. Ms. Harris, and before her Mr. Biden, have far outpaced Mr. Trump in fund-raising this cycle, including from small-dollar donors. But both in sheer number (about 75 emails per week, on average, throughout this campaign cycle) and in syntax, the former president’s campaign emails stand out. Similar questions have arisen about contests Mr. Trump’s campaign and political action committee have run in years past.

It was the second knife attack on Japanese children and third assault on foreigners in China in recent months. “As a Chinese, I feel heartbroken, outraged and ashamed,” said a Shenzhen resident who laid a white rose outside the Japanese school following the boy’s death last Thursday. The killing has shaken the Japanese community in China, with some of Japan’s biggest companies offering to repatriate staff members and their families. Generations of Chinese grew up learning about the atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers in school textbooks and on state television. “There is no so-called Japan-hating education in China,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Monday.

Gen Zers, it turns out, are "not on a linear journey to evaluate the veracity of anything." In other words, Gen Zers know the difference between rock-solid news and AI-generated memes. For Gen Z, checking what other people are saying in the comments isn't shallow. The aim is to reach Gen Z readers where they live — scrolling through the comments — and turn them into subscribers.

Read previewPublishers are racing to be known for "premium" content to keep advertising revenue afloat, but there's a swirling debate in the industry over how to define it. AdvertisementFor example, some broadcasters are pitching their streaming content as premium by selling it directly to advertisers without using third-party adtech companies. Broadcasters are gunning for control of streaming ad dollarsAt the same time, TV publishers are angling to define themselves as makers of premium content that appeals to advertisers. Instead of premium content, many advertisers are more concerned with premium audiences who are watching streaming content. Still, Gupta from U of Digital said that broadcasters have the upper hand in deciding what is considered premium content because there is a lack of high-quality content in streaming environments.

Within a moment of clicking on any MrBeast video, he is shouting at his 250 million subscribers to explain the thesis of the video.

The first song on “Cowboy Carter,” Beyoncé’s not-exactly-country album, makes a pre-emptive strike. It’s a challenge she has engaged head-on since she released her visual album “Beyoncé” in 2013. For the last decade, even as her tours have filled stadiums, she has set herself goals outside of generating hits. “Cowboy Carter” is an overstuffed album, 27 tracks maxing out the 79-minute capacity of a CD and stretching across two LPs. It flaunts spoken-word co-signs from Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton that interrupt its flow; it includes some fragmentary, minute-long songs.

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea women's manager Emma Hayes says she was wrong to describe intrasquad player relationships as “inappropriate.”Hayes is finishing out the season at Chelsea in the Women’s Super League before she takes over as coach of the U.S. women's national team. In Hayes' initial comments Thursday, she said player-to-player relationships in a team are “ inappropriate " because they have the potential to create extra challenges to manage. She had been asked about player-coach relationships, which she also said were inappropriate. “I didn't think it was right for me to use the term ‘inappropriate’ for the players,” Hayes said Friday night after Chelsea beat Arsenal 1-0 in a WSL match. Chelsea players Jess Carter and Ann-Katrin Berger are currently in a relationship, and after Hayes' initial comment, Carter liked a tweet that said it was “beyond bonkers” to bring player relationships into the conversation about player-coach relationships.
